I didn't leave my bed for 9 days. Cedric brought all my work to me the first week back. "You need to eat, Daisy," he would say. I never responded.

I couldn't cry. The only night I cried was the night I received the letter.

After those nine days, I finally returned to class. Apparently people actually thought I died, which was ridiculous.

Bryan would occasionally talk to me, but as always, I didn't have a response.

Then after about a month, my social battery recharged. Cedric began to make me laugh again. "There's the Daisy I know and love," he said the first time I smiled.

Cedric's second task occurred on February 24, shortly after I started feeling better. I attended the match at the very last minute because I knew I'd run into Draco, although I saw him in class everyday. It was different though. He had no reason to be there, he didn't support any of the champions, except he used to cheer for my brother. Now, he sits there glumly.

Other than Cedric's task, everyday has been the same. Wake up, listen to Cedric talk about himself, go to breakfast, go to class, avoid Draco, go to lunch, talk to Bryan, go to library, wave at Hermione, skip dinner, and go to bed.

It's now May 9, and there's only a few weeks til Cedric's final task- the end of this nightmare.

I feel very confident in him- I have to- or that feeling will come back.

I experienced it months ago, during his first task. Something was most definitely wrong.

I've become very worried for Daisy. Sure, she'll smile and talk to Bryan here and there, but she's not the same.

The last time she acted like this was when Mum passed.

Speaking of Mum, Father and I still haven't told her about her real Father.

Father and I lost touch about a month ago when he decided to go on some sort of retreat on the other side of the country.

"He doesn't know how to act like a muggle, let alone a muggle in another country," Daisy snarled when I told her the news. She's right, Father and the muggle world do not mix well.

Bryan's been having a rough time. Ever since he told us about his Father, he hasn't looked at us the same. Daisy says I shouldn't worry about him so much, but I do. Merlin's sake his father seems like a true maniac for wanting to find my sister!

I've also been worried about myself. I barely sleep at night. My minds just so busy worrying about other things like my sister, and where my father is, and that stupid Triwizard Tournament that I never should have entered.

Mum would know how to calm me down.

Then I have to remember the whole reason I'm in this mess is her. Mum is the reason I entered this tournament. Mum would've known how to handle Daisy's heartbreak, or known how to act like a muggle along my father's side.

Things are getting worse. Barty threatens me to tell him information about Potter nearly every night now. Isn't he smart enough to figure it out himself?

But the thing is, every time I ask about him, he threatens to kill me. Aren't I your son?

I know he wouldn't kill me- or would he? Whatever, I do know that Hogwarts is in total danger. But there's no way I can say anything to anyone. Barty's put me under a spell where it forbids me write and speak certain words. The magic's too strong for me to break.
